The Doggfather talks about new year’s resolutions, airport security, Tiger Woods and more much more. Pretty hilarious interview. Snoop may not blow up a plane, but he’ll sure smoke one up.

Last night, Alicia Keys made her musical guest appearance on Saturday Night Live with Sir Charles Barkley co-hosting and introducing her performances. But do you really wanna see that? Probably not. Instead, catch her “Digital Short” sketch which seems inspired a lil’ by her video, “You Don’t Know My Name”. Sidebar: This should’ve made the cut. Show was turrible! (Say it like, Chuck)
Photo: 2008. Hov at a Packers-Cowboys game. The real pigskin season began today as the first two of four Wild Card games were played.

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
